Winter Snow and warm Kiln Loads

So my week has been a series of checking for three school closures (fairly inconsistent there) so

I may have done school run to one school but not another, & the school where I work is on the coast

so it didn't snow there until today, but we had a class trip to the National Portrait Gallery to London

which was cancelled on the day.

So, I fired my kiln and got going with some orders and a large commissioned order for a shop in Swansea. I fired the little kiln and as the temperature was -6 it cooled pretty quick so I could retrieve all the work within 24hrs, well that's never happened before!

I have made a selection of lace embedded porcelain hearts, some

vintage key hearts and the larger fairy hearts.

All have been sent off to their new owner now.

Also warm from the kiln are these little porcelain disc pins, they are teeny tiny measuring just 2cm with a 15mm pin.

Print, texture and clay formations, practical Ideas and functional art that can be used for both purpose and style.
Here is where i document my successes and failings as both enable me to push on and are equally important in the making process.
